  AARON YOUNG, farmer, P. O. Morea. This gentleman was born August 16, 1830, in
Hamilton County, Ohio. His father was Robert Young, born February 13, 1787, in
Newark, N. J., where he was educated and also learned the shoe-maker trade; he
traveled a great deal, and was married in Ohio to Sarah Gogin, born September
16, 1803, in Cape May, N. J., daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Scull) Gogin. She is
the mother of seven children, and counting grand and great-grandchildren, it may
be said that she is the parent of fifty-two children, of whom nineteen are now
dead. Robert Young was a soldier in the war of 1812, and his son, Robert S.,
died while in the Ninety-eighth Illinois Volunteers, in Scottsville, Ky. Our
subject, Aaron, was educated in Cincinnati and Crawford County, Ill. He was
married in Miami County, Ohio, January 4, 1865, to Miss Sarah Yates, born June
29, 1842, in Miami County, Ohio, daughter of Edmund C. and Sarah (Leniing)
Yates, and is the mother of five children now living—Sarah L., born February 1,
1866; Hannah C., June 23, 1867; Robert E. and Maria J. are twins, born July 7,
1869; and Mary L., born November 4, 1877. Mr. Young's ancestors were of Scotch
descent, but Mrs. Young's ancestors were of Indian descent. Mr. Young has a fine
farm, to the cultivation of which he gives a great deal of attention. Mr. and
Mrs. Young are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Young is a
well-read man, and has been identified with the Republican party. His mother is
yet living, well known to all old pioneers. Robert Young died September 23, 1814.
